Matthew Munson, "Tracking Semantic Drift in the Biblical Corpus"

Heyne Haus, Seminarraum 1

Abstract:Speech Recognition and Topic Modeling have long used co-occurrence patterns of linguistic tokens to, respectively, correctly recognize indistinct input or to group tokens semantically. In this presentation, I will discuss my research in using analysis of co-occurrence patterns to track semantic drift between the Greek Old Testament (the Septuagint) and the Greek New Testament.
